Eat before fill?



Recommended Posts

I have my first fill tomorrow morning at 8am. I was curious if your docs allowed you to eat before your fill or not? I wasn't told not to eat, but I didn't ask either and now it is too late to call. Not sure what I should do

Mine doc did not care, but like Missy, I did not eat just before.

My doc didn't say either way. I've eaten before and also not eaten. For me, there was no difference. Let us know how it goes.

My doctor doesn't want me to eat four hours before a fill And like you My fills are also in the morning So I never eat because I would have to get up like 3am But I was really hungry about 4 o'clock that afternoon

My doctor allows me to eat prior. He also puts me on liquids for the rest of the day. If they didn't say anything, I'd guess you're fine to eat.

My doc says not to eat 2 hours before. But it sounds from the post it may not matter. I'll still go with what my doc says though. Good luck with your choice.

Thanks everyone! I'm going to play it safe and not eat before.

I will be on the liquid diet for a couple of days afterwards, not looking forward to that again. I just hope the fill helps to cut down my hunger!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
